Finally, i do not have to watch the train wreck of the US Men’s National Team. Everyone should boycott those games until someone gets their brain out of there rear. Back to the BPL this week. I hope everyone is prepped and ready to support their club. Remember, do not be a hater if I do not pick or like your team. Get over it! Hope you enjoy your football weekend.

Here are MY PICKS!

SATURDAY

LIVERPOOL V NEWCASTLE- Liverpool of course. Newcastle I hope you like relegation. I still see it in your future.

BRIGHTON V BURNLEY- Non watchable game with much better choices at 1000. These games are strictly supporter games. If you are not a supporter of either club, I do not recommend this game unless you are just a super die hard football fan. I see a draw here.

MANCHESTER UNITED V LEICESTER- Manchester United of course! I do not see any other result here.

SHEFFIELD UNITED V SOUTHAMPTON- This is an interesting game. Newly promoted team playing well against a struggling premier league side that has had all of her players stripped from her by money. Sheffield is playing well and I take them on this game.

SPURS V CRYSTAL PALACE- London Derby. Always a good game when London clubs are doing battle. Spurs looked a little lost before international break, Scooter. Do you think your team can turn it around. You might need an extra bottle to get through the season. Might make those matches better to watch. I see a tough one for Spurs, but see a win in your future.

WOLVES V CHELSEA- OH ERIN! Your pretty boys are struggling with defense. Looks only get you so far, performance is what matters on the pitch. Not size (of your check) either. I do see Chelsea being able to take Wolves out. Wolves are not the team they were at the end of last year. I take Chelsea on this one based on the talent of the “pretty boys”. I do enjoy watching Pulisic.

NORWHICH V MAN CITY- WTF, who make Norwich’s schedule. The Canaries got set in to the middle of a coal mine with noxious gas. However, Norwich has proven they can hang. City has two full starting squads and I see City snuffing the Canaries out quickly. Man City all the way.

SUNDAY

BOURNEMOUTH V EVERTON- Ben, i would consider abandoning your team. They look awful in the attacking third and goals are hard to come by. I do take Everton on this one. Bournemouth does not have enough to pull a win out.

WATFORD V ARSENAL- Patrick, for you Birthday I predict win. Present for you birthday. Arsenal all the way here! Happy Birthday Patrick!

MONDAY

ASTON VILLA V WEST HAM- I do not like watching any game where West Ham is playing (except Manchester United). I like Aston Villa this year despite the struggle. I take Villa on this one EASILY!

I hope you enjoy the weekend. Watch as much football and drink as much OaK Road while watching the games. And remember, no matter the picks, support your club.

Disappointed in the USMNT production this international break. We still do not have what it takes. When are we going to look at soccer in this country differently? US SOCCER, you need to change. You are a bloated Jaba the Hut. Pun intended. Good job to our players in Europe. They will be the future USMNT players. MLS players are not our answer. Hopefully we can get to the big stage in 3 years…….

Today let us remember all those that lost their lives. Innocent people that were removed from this world. Especially all the Fire, EMS, and Police officers the gave their lives to those in need. And to the Military Personnel that took the war to enemy and those that did not return from the war. Remember.

We are back again for another weekend of football. Here are my picks this week. Don’t be a hater because your team is under performing and owners are burning pounds by the millions on useless players. Or useless players are occupying salary spots, Sanchez.

ENJOY!

SATURDAY

SOUTHAMPTON V MANCHESTER UNITED- Poor performances from the Red Devils last 2 weeks. Opening day blow out and just awful performances since. Plus a bloated midfielder in Pogba. I still take my team to win. Manchester United. Ole come up with something quick please! All eyes are on you.

CHELSEA V SHEFFIELD UNITED- Difficult one to pick. Chelsea’s Pretty Boys can’t make much happen, but they were able to finish the game last week. Sheffield is playing well. But it is Erin’s 31 day and Birthday on Saturday so we are going to have to get a win for her. So Chelsea it will be.

CRYSTAL PALACE V ASTON VILLA- This is actually going to be a good game. Palace coming off a win over Manchester United and Aston Villa is playing well. I will take Villa on this one.

LEICESTER V BOURNEMOUTH- Not a strong or interesting game in my eyes. I like to see Bournemouth, but I am calling a draw on this one.

MAN CITY V BRIGHTON- MAN CITY all the way. This pick is too easy.

NEWCASTLE V WATFORD- Well Newcastle lit Spurs up last week and maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Newcastle fans. Fluke at best last week. I want to see Newcastle with a string of positive results before I get on any bus. Watford not playing well. I will take Newcastle.

WEST HAM V NORWICH- Not impressed with the Hammers at all. They are going down I think. I do like how Norwich is playing. Especially their Striker. I take Norwich.

BURNLEY V LIVERPOOL- I am taking Liverpool on this one despite some of the play lately. They still have a great team and an outstanding midfield. Not a fan at all Liverpool Just saying. But i take them to win.

SUNDAY

EVERTON V WOLVES- Everton, you look terrible and could not even handle the Championship League right now. Where are the goals from the money. SHOW ME THE MONEY! I want it back. Buy players to perform not under perform. Ben you team is still on the struggle bus. I take wolves.

ARSENAL V SPURS- Scooter your team blew it last week and there lack on consistency came forth. Patrick you team is questionable at best. Great London Derby! I am going to take Spurs. They should take Arsenal at home. it will depend on who wants to play.

GOOD LUCK to everyone’s team, even if I did not pick them to win. Get over it. You will survive. Remember, always support your team. Best wishes to your Football Weekend.

I hope everyone’s club had wins this weekend. Disappointed in Manchester United’s loss and Spurs losing. Everton WTF, no goals? Arsenal, not a big 6 team. And of course Chelsea, defense, defense, defense, but at least pulled the win out. Hope you enjoyed the football weekend. Treat your withdrawal symptoms with a healthy dose of football podcasts and pundit lectures. See you Friday for the Picks of the Week.
